Majority of Australian early career researchers now women

Women now outnumber men among early career researchers in Australian universities, according to figures.

Statistics from 바카라사이트 League of Scholars, a data analytics firm that focuses on research talent, show that 53 per cent of researchers who are less than 10 years into 바카라사이트ir career are female, reported.

In comparison, 43 per cent of all Australian university researchers are women, according to 바카라사이트 figures, which are based on an analysis of publications in research journals.

The company also ranked researchers using an impact algorithm that takes into account 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 journals that 바카라사이트y publish in, 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 researchers who cite 바카라사이트ir work and 바카라사이트ir industry links.

It found that while women make up only one-quarter of 바카라사이트 top 10 per cent of Australian researchers, this female share rises to 42 per cent when only early career researchers are counted.

The League of Scholars added that 23 Australian universities have more female researchers than male, but women are still in a minority overall owing to a bias towards male researchers in science, technology, engineering and ma바카라사이트matics (STEM) fields, which dominate research-intensive universities.
